Background

Policing is far more than law enforcement. Understanding the changes in society that can affect policing in the future is vital to the service provided today.

AnalysisNew research from Accenture identifies six key steps to help police services prepare for the future.

Engage citizens

Empower officers

Optimize ways of working

Predict and improve services through analytics

Enhance collaboration

Proactively manage change

Adopting an integrated approach that empowers and enables frontline officers can lead to more informed and flexible interactions that better engage and serve citizens. The emphasis is on providing police officers with a single and complete picture of the event and situation they are dealing with or about to be confronted by—proactively and in real time, wherever they may be.

Recommendations

Accenture believes police leaders should consider the following questions to help prepare their police services for the future:

Are you proactively engaging citizens in a two-way dialogue, through a range of contact channels, in a personalized and sustainable manner?

Are your police officers empowered, through the right technology and training?

Have you optimized your ways of working, organizational structures and infrastructure, and partnered with other public and private organizations to achieve better resource and asset management?

Are you making use of sophisticated analytics to inform police officers and access real-time intelligence?

Are you collaborating with your national as well as cross-border network of police services, justice organizations, public, private and voluntary organizations, and citizens?
